+jimmyreno Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 (edited) So far I've just been doing day trips around town and have only loaded up to a dozen waypoints for the day trip. Then delete after I've found them. I'm planning some trips now and will want to put in 500 waypoints. What are the easy ways to find a particular waypoint as I'm driving along? Can I use Easygps or another program on my computer to group waypoints into logical clusters? or in the sequence I'll encounter them on the road? Edited May 6, 2005 by jimmyreno Quote
+Sevateem Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 I don't know what kind of GPS you are using. My 60cs will let me sort tem by name, closest, or Synbol. Look into that for your GPS. Quote

+jimmyreno Posted May 6, 2005 Author Posted May 6, 2005 GSAK !!!! awesome program - www.gsak.net cc\ does that work on your GPS? Quote
+briansnat Posted May 6, 2005 Posted May 6, 2005 What are the easy ways to find a particular waypoint as I'm driving along? The easiest way is to use the map page and you'll see the waypoints as you drive by. That or just do a find and sort by nearest. Quote
+quakemap Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 As for grouping waypoints into clusters, QuakeMap will do it for you. When you position the map at a certain point, and then bring up Waypoints Manager, the waypoints in the list will be sorted by distance from that center of the map ("Camera") position. Select and save the top 100 in the list, and you've got your "cluster". Move camera along the route and repeat. Quote

+NightPilot Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Works on your GPS? Maybe it just sends waypoints to your GPS? No third-pary software will run on a GPS, especially Windows sotware. If you just have your Legend, then you can either press the Waypoint button on the left side and select Waypoints, Nearest, or you can display the map page, in which case you can see the caches as you drive by, providing you have the proper zoom level selected. If you have a laptop or a PDA, then you have a number of options, depending on what hardware you have. Quote

+gsmX2 Posted May 9, 2005 Posted May 9, 2005 I absolutely LOVE GSAK. Take advantage of the evaluation period and see if you don't agree. I spent 12 hours with it scratching the surface of its capabilities. The bought it. I can't imagine geocaching without it. GSMx2 Quote
